PS3 Slim pictures are fake !

The "stolen" pictures of a supposed PS3 Slim have been seen all around the world, you've seen them on Ultimate PS3. After we received threats following the publication of these pics, our staff has investigated and reveals the trickery. Read all the details in this exclusive news, as we've interviewed one of the creators of this fake PS3 Slim.

naa SEV has always been straight up, and he's a good dude. This if anything helps prove him right, I believe he said the pics wer fake and the slim is not. I knew those pics were fake the ps3 slim isint. I am posotive that we won't see it for a year or so maybe longer.

I dont know about his previous statements, I do know he is a good dude and even though Ive had disagreements with his staff I still think he is a good dude and he knows what he is talking about, he may be wrong on this instance and you know maybe not.....we will find out at (most likely) TGS.

And a random poster here on N4G is so much more reliable that I'd take his claim that someone who actually provides us with PS3 news, including the recent Trico video, and is going to E3 to interview various people in the industry is in fact, not reliable.

You see how silly you sound now?

Just to remind you, Sev has said it could be one of a few things and only included the Slim because of its current status in the news. He included that it might just be a new model with a bigger HDD and game packaging or it could be a new controller as well.

Anyway the point is...The only person to come out and say the PS3 slim "In those Pictures" are real, including the console and the box is Sev.

Its pretty obvious there will be a PS3 slim in the PS3 life cycle, its happened with every Sony console, it doesn't take an "insider" to guess that, but now we have some "evidence" to suggest the images are fake, after he clearly said they were real, he ends up looking a bit stupid.....

Anyway lets just wait till E3. Its pretty obvious that if this PS3 slim isnt at E3, like he said, he ends up looking very stupid..If it does I apologize in advance..

Sev is now backing up his claim...don't you guys realize that Sev would be insane to comment on something so big without knowing for sure, considering the constant scrutiny he gets regarding credibility?

I think a lot of apologies are going to be owed to Sev...not just by Mindboggle

Reason why they will take this site over you: it's a way to character assassinate someone who's revealed a LOT of good things for the PS3 and Sony (and Sony trusts you to keep things under wraps, unlike some people *coughKotakucough*), and that is something that the other side really doesn't like. They also don't want the PS3 to succeed because they want to justify why they don't have one yet. They want their precious 360 to win every single battle, and this slim thing will be a HUGE detriment towards that.

Like I said, this will be like talking to brick walls.

By the way, this site just rambles on about what they said they did. No proof is shown whatsoever that they did anything that they said they did.

You're backpedaling. As SOON as Sev came on here and began defending his case (and as soon as people began to call you out on how you believed some random site against someone who runs a proven site), you immediately changed your tone and said that you didn't care, and that if he's right, you would apologize. The problem is, you're the one who brought him up to begin with beforehand, and you seemed so sure of yourself that he was the liar and that this site had all the damn answers. He mentioned everything to you countless times as clear as can be, yet he's not allowed to defend himself on here or through PM (YOU'RE the one attacking him left and right and accusing him of lying. Why do you expect him NOT to answer?).

Sev clearly said these images were real...Shows how much he knows... "

After whoelse made his comment: "Anyway lets just wait till E3. Its pretty obvious that if this PS3 slim isnt at E3, like he said, he ends up looking very stupid..If it does I apologize in advance.."

That's called backpedaling because you're suddenly slowing down your attacks. You're being called out for the unwarranted attacks and just taking this site's word for it without even thinking. He didn't say that the pictures themselves were real, just the news that the pic was related to was true. That and, as whoelse said, there was more than one image that was linked to this story.

You're trying to see the forest from the trees and saying that the tree is what made the entire forest. There's clearly more to the story than just a picture.

i'm sorry, but this is completely nonsense. We've had countless articles with evidence, CONCRETE evidence of the ps3 slim being real. Yet we get one article from an unknown french site stating its fake and that they caught out the Chinese culprits, by email, F*CKING EMAIL?!? then they talk about it being an elaborate scam to sell it on ebay, ebay? what... Iv never heard so much boll0x in my life.

have you forgotten that the first site to post the pics received a legal threat from the actual suppliers of the playstation console, asking them to remove them immediately.

i'm behind sev on this one, you know why? because it makes sense and its logical. this french sites explanation is completely illogical, anyone can claim to have made those pics.

hey guess what it was me, you know why? because i said so in an email.../sarcasm

Even if it proves to be wrong it dosen't mean that Sev was lying. It could just mean that Sev got the wrong information. No one will ever get everything right all the time.

Cut him some slack. He posted not only screen shots of the super secret ICO project but also a trailer!. Most PS fans would have been happy even if just one screen shot was posted but Sev did the unthinkable and managed to post a whole trailer.

Look, even IGN UK are saying that its most likely true that this Slim PS3 rumor is real. Many other well know established sites say so as well. Will these other established sites lose their credability if this turns out to be false, or does it only apply to Sev?.

If i were you i would take Sev's word on this rather than this other French site that we don't know anything about.

We're just telling you that you're accusing him WAY too quickly and believing the French site WAY too easily, and you're getting all uptight when you get called out for it. My God, go outside and RELAX!

EDIT: By the way...

"And I already said I will apologize if im wrong before Sev even turned up...."

You did, but you're only providing one half of THAT story. whoelse called you out on it, and THAT'S when you suddenly offered the apology!

Like someone mentioned earlier, it's possible that these people know what the PSP GO box looks like and used it as a template. The article said some of these people works in factories in China, maybe they have access to or know people who works in Sony's factories? Either way, Sev does not need to prove anything, we should all be happy that he gives us hints of cool new products from time to time.

Yeah, but they weren't having the same level of problems making the console itself cheap enough to make so they could turn a profit on the hardware with the PS2, were they?

I don't know if I thought tis was real or not-that's not important anyway-but I do think a slim PS3 is on the card sooner in PS3 lifetime than we saw in PS2's. Already they're trying to squeeze cosys down by halving the suppliers (of PS parts)so a jump to making a slim isn't too much of a stretch for my mind.

As for Sev-lots of sites and people far more experienced than he and his have been fooled by this(and also by far less likely things in the past)so if we're to ignore what he says are we also striking off everyone else who ever felt a rumour was(incorrectly)true? Jeez, as a reporter(in the past) I've had good and bad leads off sources that had been previously reliable-often it's that way people look silly but it doesn't stop them being trustworthy in general or, indeed, in the future.

Give the guy a break. Why we all so eager to point and laugh? We all so perfect? I'm definitely not.

Runs like a mack truck driving a 1 person shuttle to work everyday. my PS2 only draws like <40 watts when playing a game. My PS3 draws over 120 with no game loaded. It'd be nice to see a lower power draw and cooler unit.

This is another reason why a new PS3 slim would be nice. The newer models usually use less power and heat to run.
